This image is a compilation of three images from Envisat’s radar and
shows where southwestern Africa’s Okavango River empties into the inland
Okavango Delta in northern Botswana. The Okavango River originates in
Angola, forms part of the Angola Namibia border and then ends in
northern Botswana. Here, it has formed a depression in the semi-arid
Kalahari basin. Appearing purple at the centre of the image is Chief’s
Island. In the lower-right portion of the image we can see a large
cluster of radar reflections from the town of Maun.
At the top of the
image, a triangle with similar colouring to the delta can be seen. This
is a swamp area and national park located mostly in Namibia.
This image is featured on the Earth from Space video programme.
